Interested in joining the lab?

Are you curious about how the brain extracts meaningful information from the continuous stream of sensory input that surrounds us?

Our lab at the University Hospital Bonn investigates how temporally complex sensory signals are encoded and used to guide behaviour. We combine state-of-the-art physiological approaches with quantitative behavioural paradigms to understand neural computation in naturalistic conditions.

We offer a focused, interactive research environment with distinct advantages:

• Close mentorship and scientific exchange
  Direct interaction with the PI, regular 1-on-1 discussions, and active career guidance.

• High scientific visibility and ownership
  The opportunity to shape projects and develop your own research within a focused, interactive team.

• Access to cutting-edge methodologies
  Multi-photon imaging, electrophysiology, optogenetics, quantitative behaviour, miniscope imaging, and computational analysis — spanning single neurons to behaviour.

• Strong local and international network
  Embedded in Bonn’s vibrant neuroscience community with extensive collaborative opportunities.

We are looking for motivated and curious scientists who enjoy thinking deeply about neural mechanisms and tackling challenging questions collaboratively.
